sure do
had to stop for a while though cuss the 5/10cent cash games have a 10% rake - double everywhere else I know. It took me a few months to realize though.
moved up to 10/25cents now and the rake is a more reasonable 5%
so I'm back playing there
torneys are great there and the site has a good user interface.

Well if you wanna release the bonus a 10% rake is good specially if you play in a 9 handed table! consider the bonus rate is 6% and you wont play every hand so....

Surely if you're playing with the rake effectively at 6% ( including your bonus ) then your still better off playing else where at 5% rake, even with no bonus or rakeback.
When you consider that other sites offer both bonus and rakeback bringing the effective rake down to 3% or less then playing these games on Full Tilt is a definite bankroll burner regardless of how you play.
Stay clear of them and don't encourage Full Tilt to rip people off, and paying a high rake can really damage your win rate even though it only sounds like a few %

But the bonus is 6% even if you don't contribute to the pot and at low limit the pot is usually high, i cleared a 120 $ in few days playing NL omaha h/l at those stakes

High/low games usually bild a bigger pot than high only games of the same stake. So that do not compare good to other players. 10% rake is still a rip off. Period.
